Far Cry 5 – PC Specs and System Requirements Revealed

As the release of Far Cry 5 draws ever closer, the development team has offered a glimpse into the inner workings of the PC version of the game. From PC-specific features to the minimum and recommended requirements, the info below will help you get prepared to unleash righteous havoc on the Project at Eden’s Gate.

“PC has always been a key element of Far Cry’s DNA, and this couldn’t be truer with Far Cry 5,” says Kirill Bragin, PC Version Producer on Far Cry 5. In order to help ensure PC players have the best experience possible, the Benchmark feature and video memory usage meter will help you analyze your system and calibrate the myriad visual options, including variant aspect ratio support, FOV adjustment, optional FPS locking, and resolution scaling. But players won’t need to dive into the calibration menus if they don’t feel like it, says Bragin, because “the game will auto-detect the user’s hardware and will set the matching quality preset and resolution.” Furthermore, Far Cry 5 will support multi-GPU functionality, allowing players to significantly improve performance.

“This is just a sneak peek at some of the features we are excited about for the PC version,” says Bragin. Check below for the minimum and recommended system requirements.
